' The utmost -caution vas usPa by the Stewards in person, to preveht any body frorp obtaining admission whose sentiments and charatier wt re repugnant , to the principles and pur pose of: the Meeting. This precaution war, render - ed necessary by the attempt of many-turbulent per sons to obtain tickets, in order to practise the same artifree as had been employed in the Meeting at the London Tavern' and at. Preernasons' Halt. The - great room, which ‘cPnwined about 350 persons, and • the adjoining rooms were very soon font. The din ; nee, and accommodations altogether wereeliighly Creditable to Messrs. HALE, the masters of the house. It is,needless to say, that the sight of so distinguished a Meeting, conslsiing of ilk: most te • Speo-table and affluent Members of. the commercial world, was in itself highly gratifying. About four o'cli)ck M. Alderman CHnisToPHER SMITH took the Chair, and ‘k as,followed by the Al dermen Sir 'W. Cutcris, Sir C. Fmcc, Sir J.

Toast 'I he health of those Meinbers of both Houses of parliament who have so wisely arid firmly supporttct the con- Itittgional privileges of Parliament."-(Drank with ti l e loud est acclainations. Mr. Alderman JACOB arose to.express his thanks In the name Of himself and the rest of the Members of PAL:went, for the honour which the Livery of tundou had just done them, Feeling , as he did conce,led with the interests of the city, and as a ilttpresenta'tive Of the People, he found it impossible to abstain froni tna•king a few observations on the Occasion of the Meetiilg , , and with respect to his OW condo& in i'arlianient. Happy vvas be to con tratula e the citizens this day assembled on the proud triumph they had achieVel They had proved that the liberties of the citizens Were yet unimpair fkl, and this great room was to tirn the temple of iieedoto. It was in fad a.ternpk-of Iteedum which alone emanated from that 'grand primary object of • all good men, the preservation of the British Con stitution. They enjoyed in its fullest extent that spe ;• rtes of liberty and independence which other coun tries, anxious to obtain, could onlj• 'realize In wild ideas. It was reserved for England alone to she* to the lest' of the world that, amidst the conflicting storms which laid waste and devastated the Goverb talents of Europe, The proudly enjoyed the practical benefits resulting froat a Constitution preserved en tire, and administered t 6 alt without .cont Foul for their general happiness. To such a meeting, and to stub men, it would be necessary for hint to say a tea 'words ag to his public conduct. He would not de , cend to justify himself against the ,attscks which had been made upon him from certain quarters on account of- the assertions which' he had made in Parliament, much less would, he 'Consent to retract • what he had titele said ;on the contrary be could Again assert, that as applicaLle to the persons as sembled at the Common Hall, the words which had given oillnce to certain persons were true, but those l&ords did not apply to the Lively of London, but to those persons "ho, baying obtruded ti emselves - into the. lall as Liverymen, condu6ted themselves in tnanner winch he deemed highly unwarrantable . and disgraceful. It was this feeling %c hich prompt ed him in Parliament, and indeed elsewhere, to ett- deavour to disperse an illusion which seemed to itave weight among a. certain proportion of the - Livery, and kr convince that part of the Livery that the Declarations and Resolutions of a certain Society were not, in point of foO, the real opinions and declarations of the Livery of London. A mcet ir)g like the preseut was the best proof of the ch - ' ratter of the Livery, who were not to be bought by. any set of Ministers, or frightened by' any faElion ?nti sheaved, that the Meeting to which he alluded, was not the 'real Meeting ,of the • . Livery. Liberty was .a blesf.ing not to be sought for, for it was enjoyed in the tallest extent at the present• moment by _thil• Peopl=. of England. The best sympathies of the People Were en gapd in _sui , por ti t% the liberties of other coun \tries—in affording assistance to ,the sons of liberty struggling to retain t:l4' freedom, in whatever part of the,globe they might be-found.—Wherever the banner's of tyranny are unfurled, there ~has the aid • of British blood' to be. found—there were the sympa thies of the People.ot .ERgla s nd to be met in ael,ion -ready to stand up for the oppressed or injured of any - nation. They had no sympathies for mock heroes, for slavish martyrs, nor for pretended patriots. Bri tish bosoms envied not the martyred Despard the crown to which lie was entitled in the grave, nor the liv'ing Patriot Wardle the,honours which he claimed. They were not envious of the Hero Bonaparte in his remorseless tracks of deiolation.—These were syrn, parities which did ndt appertain to Britons. The sym pathies which they were prowl et were those which as loyal and indepeudeut subjects of the realm they had , • t the rigbt to claim.observed that ,t he manner in which the , ,Livery had drank the netsts, Was not only flattering to the persdus ineltitted in lie but :was:llls° flattering to the becausie thereby: they, had shewn to the country that they knewhow.'t() make; the. distinction bet , •eeeii :slavish - ,obedienCe and._ W ling sobmission.—Jt had been falsely asserted, that the House of Commons had exerciSed PoWets be yond those w;hiclet he ConStitution vested them. That assertion was not true,, they never had e dene so ;- and the, most ,enliohtened and thinking part of mankind were satisfied' that they had exerci:ied no power iticoMpalible with the'just prerogativeof the . Crown, the piiviieges of, Pailiaruent, and the rights and liberties of r:e people.—lf the edifice which had been' raised for the preservation of the peoples liberties, was to ,be undermined 'and destroyed by such ill-founded assertions as those, the whole must -sink, and then the Constitution would be gone for ever. --,-The. people had the best proof on - the last' evening of 'the opinion of fly: , House of Cou,mons; with .respect to the , neceuity of reform. A motion had been brought forward by a Gentleman ,well cal cnlatedefor such d proceeding., 'and the result was known ; iheanajdrity of that House, after hearing all the arg,uments that could be adduced, abandoned the measure, •and if was, lost •by a very great majo , rny,- Mr. J. concluded by returning his thanks for the honour done-him. -He was proud of their friendship and good opinions, and would drink all their good healths. (This.:speeeh,was received with the &realest applause.) Mr. HORN. then song " The Independent Man."

These-Gentlemen respectively testified-their high sense of the honanr_wlnch had been done to them' ori the present occasion, and paid the warmest tri, -• bute ot- praise to the purpose of the Meeting, The • last co-iciuded with proposing as a Toast — 4 .‘ Mr' Me'lish, „and the Loyal and Independent Freeholders of Middlesex." ' Mr. MEeeem returned his 'thanks for the higlf and distinguish;ed honotir which they had conferr,ed on him. 'Sir'. 'Cuti-rrs then 'proposed the health of the worthy Chairman Mr. • Alderman CHRISTOPHER -? SMITH, which was - received with great applause.— The worthy Chain - A:air - thanked the Company in an appropriate speech. He was followed ,by Mr. De puty KRMBLE, who ! after a few words in honour of 'the Meeting propesed Health and Icing lite to Mr. Sheriff Atkins." -1 with the greatest applause.) , The Worthy Sheriff. with great zeal - thanked the com Pally for this flattering_distinction, .and declared rhat nothing should induce him to desert the, prin ciples'whieh animated the Meeting. The; following toast's were then drank " The 'trade and commerce of the'City 01 London."

The remainder of the : eveeing way spent in harmony, many loyal songs were .sung, and the company departed at, a late hour. —( Drank. It is proper ,to notice the patriotic' ttibute of Mr. JOHN LODGE on this occasion, who sent as a testi mony of bis respeCt for the Meeting, one hundred Silver Medals to be distributed among the Steward, who amounted•to that number.

THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK In a Committee on the Bill for granting a Pen sion to his Se l rene Highnesi ) Lord HOLLAND renew ed, his questign respecting the fund from which it was to be taken. He wished to know the amoutk of the Droits of Admitalty, and whether there was a sufficiency in that fund to ineet this demand, pther wise it must no doabt fall upon the citi it List.

' • The Earl of LIVERPOOL. would' not oppose' the production of that account; but neither would he pledge himself that the pension would be paid out_ of that fond; It was more probable it must be paid out of the Civil List.

' A Message 'front the Lords anpoonteti their Lord ship's concurrence with the - Exchequer .Bills Bill, the Irish Stage Coach Bill; the Irish Malt. Bill, and several private Bilis. Mr. R.

The report was ordered to be received to morrow. , The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up, the'resolutitins of which 'were read and agreed to.. ' _ . FOREIGN TIMBER. In a Committee of the whole House on Foreign. Timber, Mr-Rose proposed that an additional duty should be imposed, on the..importation,of Foreign Timber. He thought our own colonies could sup-. ply us with half the quantity at - present imported fromsNorway. adoption of the measure would increase: the proSperity, and enable them to take more goods of our manufacturing than formerly. Fewer foreign ships than are in our trade at present would then be required, .and a great saving would thence arise to the country. He concluded _by moving, that additional duties should be imposed on , Foreign Timbers impOrted into Great.nritain, unless such timbq were immediately transported from our own colonies. Sir W. LEMON rose, but spoke in a tone so very inaudible that we were unable to colled f what he • said. Mr. HORNER thought the measure proposed might be suggested to-the Right Hon. Gentleman by the enormous 'increase of foreign shipping em ployed in our trade. In the progress of the measure now brought ft - rrward; he hopcd the House would investigate the causes'of this new and alarming evil. It might be an objeta of the enemy's policy to insi nuate foreign ships into the current trade of this country. By this means Buonaparte might seek to share r'ith us that which was ihe source of our COM 'mercial and political power. He thought that we might be blinded by the rig lesions thrown out by the enemy, who, pldyiug a deep game, took, advantige di our policy, and made our regulations . subservient to his purpose. Mr: IlOsa observed, that no undue encouragement had been giyen to. I °reign vessels ; no one was . suf 7 tered . to, sad where.. an .k.nglish could go.
